Green & Co, s report on cotton futures says;
THE market has continued subject almost
wholly TO the manipulation of the bull syndi-
cate, making another free advance on old crop
rates, showing at one time 20@b2l points above
last evening. 1t is thought, however, that local
assistance has been rendered to-day by opera
tors who, finding the desire to invest so posi-
tive, are determined to make buyers pay wen
for what they get. Offerings continue princl
paly OF long cotton on near months, increased
somewhat on the present market by the hoh-
days to prevail until Tuesday next; but on new
crop there more inclination to sell short
even on an advance of only about hair That
shown for near options. AT the close trading
was lighter, and the extreme rates of the day
seemed modified"

CHIoAeo, May 2.-Although foreign grain
markets were higher this morning, yet prices
for both wheat and corn were shade easier at
the start. June wheat opened at SS1sc and inn
uIediately sold to SS16c. July opened at S634c
and sold down to S61ec AS the session advanced
trading In wheat became lighter and about noon
business in the pit was almost at q standstlil.
Orders from outsiders continue 10 come In very
slowly, and buying was almost exclusively be-
tween local traders. The clique were hardly TO
be seen in the market, and their policy at pres
ent appears to be to let the market take care OF
itself June was held between SS15GDS914c the
greater part Of the session, and July was steady
around 86J5G18631c. During the afternoon ses-
sion June sold off to SS1sc, the closing price.
a rather weak tendency during the first hour.
July opened fraction lower, at 4Oc. When the
estimate of 3S5 cars of corn for tomorrow was
received the market became still weaker, and
July sold down to 3934c. This condition con-
tinIled through the remainder of the day. July
closed at 3gSA61 1890 Provisions opened firm,
| although receipts OF hogs were 1000 more than
| expected July lard opened PIC higher, at
Sc 72l%, and ribs 2I6c higher, at 81 s9Is. Toward
| noon provisions became weaker, and July ribs
| sold down to So 21lA and July lard to SO roo
| 0 72Is. During the afternoon session provisions
| continued weak. July lard closed at $6 671S and
| July ribs at 81 2912.
